Thank-ful Time!
This year Thanksgiving was going to be spent in town. There were no plans to travel, it was a good thing too, because both Doug and I were suffering from a silly cold! We had planned on Doug's parents coming to town, and because they were sick, they cancelled too. Not that we blame them! No fun to get on an airplane while you're sick! So, it ended up that we had all the fixins' for dinner, but just us three to share it with. Not to mention the 11lb prime rib roast that Joyce bought accidentally way too large!
Naturally, we called Joyce's sister that lives in Cali and they decided to come over with three of their four boys. So we ended up with a full house once again! It was fun. We put down air mattresses, set up the pack-n-play for the baby, and let the wildness begin!

The kids loved to play outside and Daisey enjoyed being able to play with other kids. While they were playing outside, or inside, or anywhere, our brother-in-law took a nap.
While he napped and the kids played games, Joyce and her sister were in the kitchen getting Thanksgiving dinner ready.
Of course, while things were cooking, there was plenty of time to snack and read a good book. (Joyce was usually behind the camera, but really, she ate and snacked most of the day!)

Dinner was ready, and we had great food. Turkey and Prime Rib, it was a feast for just about everyone! The only thing that would have made it better was if the rest of Joyce's family would have been closer to come and enjoy it too.
This year we had a lot to be thankful for. First and foremost is always our daughter, Daisey. She came into our lives so tiny, and ready to be loved, and she's had us wrapped around her little fingers ever since. She's the joy in our lives. Doug completed his first year as a Resident and was halfway through his second year. He had gotten into a groove and was loving being a Doctor. Joyce was able to go to school and start on her Associates Degree from BYU Idaho and was close to finishing her first preliminary year. It was a good year, and there were a lot of things to be thankful for. Our health, our family, and of course the chance at a bright future!
All our love,
Doug and Joyce
